A POPULAR Lake District fudge, food and gift shop is for sale.

Inspired by their own family holidays in the Lake District as children, Phil Glennon and his wife Helen moved to Coniston with their two boys in 2002.

But now they are putting the Yewdale Road 'Coniston Artisan’ shop on the market to concentrate solely on the fudge-making arm of their business.

“We now want to concentrate on fudge production and sales through our other shop, a sort of down-sizing,” said Phil.

“Every day we remind ourselves that we made a deliberate decision to start a new life in the Lakes. It’s important to us that we continue to enjoy all the things that we love about the area whilst earning a good income.”
